Скачать или смотреть The role of living heritage practices in sustaining the Asante Traditional Buildings in Ghana

In this final episode of the Earth Network Podcast series, we travel to Ghana to learn how cultural heritage can support environmental conservation—and vice versa. We explore the Asante Traditional Buildings in Kumasi, Ghana, a UNESCO World Heritage site that embodies the rich cultural legacy of the Asante people.
These sacred structures not only showcase exceptional craftsmanship but also reflect the deep spiritual connection between the people and their natural surroundings. We discuss how these buildings are maintained, the role biodiversity plays in their preservation, and the challenges posed by climate change.
Joining us are two distinguished experts: Elizabeth Matilda, a heritage management expert from Ghana, and Dr. Olga Laiza Kupika, a climate and natural resources specialist from Botswana. Together, they share how communities are building resilience, integrating traditional knowledge with innovative solutions, and ensuring the sustainability of these remarkable cultural treasures.
Tune in for a powerful exploration of heritage preservation, community resilience, and the future of the Asante Traditional Buildings.
